Paraná Is the 5th State with the Most Solar Energy Installations in Brazil and the Largest in Distributed Generation

Paraná is the 5th Brazilian state with the most solar energy installations in Brazil and one of the largest contributors to the country’s distributed generation. As of August 2019, 1,053 connections for solar energy capture were established in Paraná, which corresponds to almost 8% of the total installations nationwide. The state ranks behind only Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, and Rio de Janeiro. The information comes from the 1st Greener survey in 2019, published by the Brazilian Association of Distributed Generation (ABGD).

Advantages of Solar Energy

The advantage of solar energy is that it is clean, sustainable, and provides a great economic return, and Paraná is already benefiting from this by excelling in distributed generation. “It is not possible to eliminate the bill entirely due to the minimum payment for network availability from the distributor, but compared to the electricity bill, which frequently has increased fees, the reduction is considerable,” he notes.

In November, for example, the rate was red at level 1, with costs between R$ 3 to R$ 4 for every 100 kWh in Paraná.

According to ABSOLAR, the benefits include the socioeconomic sphere, such as reducing electricity costs for the population, businesses, and governments, bringing savings to society. Additionally, they boost local job creation, estimated at 25 to 30 new jobs per MW/year; and attract foreign capital and new private investments to the country.

In terms of environmental impact in Paraná, highlights include the generation of clean, renewable, and sustainable electricity, without greenhouse gas emissions, without waste, and with low environmental impact.

Photovoltaic solar energy also has great strategic importance, promoting the diversification of the Brazilian electric matrix and assisting in the security and supply of electrical energy.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

An illegal mountain of waste 6 meters high and 10,000 tons has emerged in England, threatens to catch fire, could cost millions to remove, and exposes how illegal dumping has become a business for criminals.

Speed radar installed in a hidden village in the Dolomites becomes the protagonist of a million-dollar revenue and places small Italian towns at the center of a national controversy.

While the world rushes to mine lithium from Congo and Chile, Brazil sits on one of the largest reserves and has barely begun to explore.

While Japan is seen as a global symbol of cleanliness, entire houses taken over by garbage expose loneliness, aging, and a legal barrier that prevents quick actions by municipalities.
